1. Vs was "immediate" for me. I loved it right from the start. I needed more time with Vitalogy to declare my adoration for it (although "Corduroy" has been one of my favourite songs by any band for almost two decades now).
  2. Yes Matt! Charlottesville on Sirius right now.

  3. Ja, I've been patiently waiting

    (Ed relates a story about certain hand gestures including the Sign Of The Horns and the variations of “peace” or “V for victory” or in some places like Australia and the UK when done with the knuckles facing forward is a vulgar or obscene gesture.
